Hello all, I am trying to untangle a strange segmentation fault created by gcc using AMD-K6-2, but not with Pentium-II. In particular, any hints on particular information bits needed to pinpoint the error will be appreciated.
First, I have OpenBSD 4.2 running on this machine using AMD-K6-2/350 on an AT-mainboard with VIA chipset VT82C598 and VT82C586B. (Well, both AT and ATX in fact.) I have not detected any trouble until I patched libssl according to the official suggestion, but already when performing "make depend", the execution aborts prematurely and reports a segmentation fault in cc1 that gnu.org ought to know about. The very same thing happened three times with reboots inbetween and even rearranged SDRAM just in case. Next, when I take the very same harddisk and move it to another machine everything goes well (except overheating when I forgot to activate the fan!) This second mainboard uses a Pentium-II 450 and Intel FW82443BX/FW82371EB chipset. This is all the more worrying since that VIA board is also not able to compile firewall kernel I originally planned to use as a testing case for the system. Please, do not be angry with me for this scant information, since my primary concern is to resolve the issue for the benefit of OpenBSD, but I am presently at loss due to the unexpected hardware dependency of this particular segmentation fault. Thus I would welcome hint or pointer as were I should collect information decisive enough to go into a proper bug report. Best regards M E Andersson
